[Mailman-Users] plain text passwords
Occasionally I get the user that goes off the deep end about sending a password in an email. Is there a blurb somewhere that I can give them to explain the situation?

[Mailman-Users] Proper names
I have some account that have the proper name and the email address of the user. I would like all my lists to only have the email address of the users. Is there a way to remove all the "Joe Public" proper names?

Re: [Mailman-Users] UPPER CASE URLs
Just in case...there are idiots like me out there.
In the virtual host section I appended the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions Inherit
RewriteMap lower int:tolower
RewriteRule [A-Z] ${lower:%{REQUEST_URI}} [R=301,L]
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Bob

This is an apache/web server question (I don't think IIS is case
sensitive, if it is please correct me). If I'm right in my first
assumption about your web server, then check mod_speling as a way to
have this go to the same place in either case.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_speling.html for version 2.0
and your favourite package manager to handle installation for your
flavour of OS.
The other option is to play with mod_rewrite rules (again check
httpd.apache.org).

Re: [Mailman-Users] password reminder password is wrong
I added myself to the same list...went to my page sent a password reminder back to myself. It sent the same password [good]. I then used that password to login and manage my account and it worked [good]. Could this be a problem with older mailman vs newer mailman and the way it stores passwords?

[Mailman-Users] password reminder password is wrong
I have a user that received his password reminder email. He went to login with the password in the email and he got: Error: Authentication failed. I tried the email link and password as well and got the same error. I tried adding " USE_CRYPT = 0 " to my Defaults.py based on a post I found by Barry W. but that didn't work. I have moved this mailman installation to a new server (RHEL 5.4), newer mailman (2.1.12), and probably a newer Python (2.4.3). Any ideas?

[Mailman-Users] wrapper issue
I changed mailman to use an aliases file (/etc/mail/mailman-aliases) which is owned by root:mailman. I get the following, which I didn't get when the aliases where being managed by Exim itself. Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group "exim". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "mailman", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=exim'. So I have two options. The tweak, and the re-configure. What is the tweak? Or is it better to do the re-configure and if I do that does that "wipe" out anything in my current system? Alternatively, I can turn the Exim support back on but I was getting this error from one of my groups: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: Test message only Sent: 2/1/2010 9:40 AM The following recipient(s) cannot be reached: em...@address on 2/1/2010 9:42 AM The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to. Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address. The email was changed but the address is valid.

[Mailman-Users] MTA='Manual'
I know that Exim and Mailman play nicely. Is there any problem with my setting the MTA value to manual, doing a genaliases and adding the to my aliases file to handle the aliases? Sounds silly but I would like to see the aliases and not have that be automagically hidden behind the scenes. -- Bob -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] glitch or something I missed?
I setup mailman and I have a user that sent me the following: === I am the list administrator for several deckplates in District 13. Yesterday I had 2 submissions (different subjects) by the same person to 3 different deckplates. When I went to approve them, both messages were there but there was only one big box covering both messages to approve, discard, etc. Usually there is a separate approval box for each message. Anyway, I checked approve on all 3 deckplates, but only the message with the earliest date was released. I've never had this happen before. Usually there is an approval box for each message and I have released several at once in the past. Is this a glitch in the system? === Did I miss a config option maybe?

[Mailman-Users] Red Hat RPM install
I am moving a list to a new server. I have installed everything and I am going through the Exim part of the installation manual. For a RH install, do I still need to setup the mailman_router and mailman_transport or does RH assume I will be using the /etc/aliases way (which is how the setup I am moving away from works)? There are other quirky differences between the install manual and what RH did with theirs but this is the only one I have questions about. Thanks for any information you can give.
